Description

The invention relates to new 1-arylpyrazoles, several processes for their preparation and their use as pest-combating agents.
It has already been disclosed that certain 1-arylpyrazoles such as, for example, 5-(N-methylamino)-4-trifluoromethylthio-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrazole or 5-(N-methylamino)-4-dichlorofluoromethylthio-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyrazole possess good insecticidal properties (compare EP No. 201,852).
However, the activity of these previously known compounds is not completely satisfactory against all harmful insects nor in all areas of use, in particular at low application rates and concentrations.
New 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which R1 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R2 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl, optionally substituted aralkyl or optionally substituted aryl,
R3 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R4 represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl or in each case optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl,
X represents oxygen, sulphur or an N-alkyl radical,
Ar represents in each case optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl,
m represents a number 0 or 1 and
n represents a number 0, 1 or 2,
have been found.
Furthermore, it has been found that the new 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) ##STR3## in which R1 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R2 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl, optionally substituted aralkyl or optionally substituted aryl,
R3 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R4 represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl or in each case optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl,
X represents oxygen, sulphur or an N-alkyl radical,
Ar represents in each case optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl,
m represents a number 0 or 1 and
n represents a number 0, 1 or 2,
are obtained by one of the processes described below:
(a) 1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (Ia) ##STR4## in which R1, R2, R3, R4, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning, are obtained when 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazoles of the formula (II) ##STR5## in which R1, R2, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with aldehydes or ketones of the formula (III) ##STR6## in which R3 and R4 have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary;
(b) 1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (Ib) ##STR7## in which X1 represents oxygen or an N-alkyl radical and
R1, R2, R3, R4, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning,
are obtained when 5-amino-1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (II) ##STR8## in which R1, R2, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with orthoesters or orthoamides of the formula (IV) ##STR9## in which R5 represents alkyl and
R3, R4 and X1 have the abovementioned meaning,
if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary;
(c) 1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (Ic) ##STR10## in which R1, R2, R3, R4, X, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning,
are obtained when 5-halogenoalkylideneimino-1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (V) ##STR11## in which R1, R2, R3, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning and
Hal represents halogen,
are reacted with alcohols, amines or thiols of the formula (VI)
R.sup.4 --XH                                               (VI)
in which R4 and X have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary;
(d) 1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (Id) ##STR12## in which R6 represents alkyl and
R1, R2, R3, R4, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning,
are obtained when 1-arylpyrazoles of the formula (Ie) ##STR13## in which R1, R2, R3, R4, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with amines of the formula (VII) ##STR14## in which R4 and R6 have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent.
Finally, it has been found that the new 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) possess a good action against pests.

The active compounds according to the invention can furthermore be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with synergistic agents. Synergistic agents are compounds which increase the action of the active compounds, without it being necessary for the synergistic agent added to be active itself.
The active compound content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations can vary within wide limits. The active compound concentration of the use forms can be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.0001 and 1% by weight.
The compounds are employed in a customary manner appropriate for the use forms.
When used against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compounds are distinguished by an excellent residual action on wood and clay as well as a good stability to alkali on limed substrates.
The active compounds which can be used according to the invention are also suitable for combating insects, midges, ticks etc. in the sectors of animal keeping and cattle breeding; better results, for example higher milk production, greater weight, more attractive animal pelt, longer life etc., can be achieved by combating the pests.

EXAMPLE A Phaedon Larvae Test
Solvent: 7 parts by weight of dimethylformamide
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent and the stated amount of emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea) are treated by being dipped into the preparation of the active compound of the desired concentration and are infested with mustard beetle larvae (Phaedon cochleariae), as long as the leaves are still moist.
After the specified periods of time, the destruction in % is determined. 100% means that all the beetle larvae have been killed; 0% means that none of the beetle larvae have been killed.
In this test, for example, the following compounds of the preparation examples show a superior activity compared to the prior art: 10, 17, 28, 41, 43, 44.
EXAMPLE B Aphis Test (Systemic Action)
Solvent: 7 parts by weight of dimethylformamide
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent and the stated amount of emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Bean plants (Vicia faba) which have been heavily infested with the black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) are each watered with 20 ml of the preparation of the active compound of the desired concentration in such a way that the preparation of the active compound penetrates into the soil without wetting the shoot. The active compound is taken up by the roots and passes to the shoot.
After the specified periods of time, the destruction in % is determined. 100% means that all the aphids have been killed; 0% means that none of the aphids have been killed.
In this test, for example, the following compounds of the preparation examples show a superior activity compared to the prior art: 2 and 8.
EXAMPLE C Critical Concentration Test/Soil Insects
Test insect: Phorbia antiqua maggots (in the soil)
Solvent: 3 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
The preparation of active compound is intimately mixed with soil. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of practically no importance here, only the amount by weight of active compound per unit volume of soil, which is given in ppm (=mg/l), being decisive. The soil is filled into pots and the pots are left to stand at room temperature.
After 24 hours, the test animals are introduced into the treated soil, and after a further 2 to 7 days the degree of effectiveness of the active compound is determined in % by counting the dead and live test insects. The degree of effectiveness is 100% if all the test insects have been killed and is 0% if just as many test insects are still alive as in the case of the untreated control.
In this test, for example, the following compound of the preparation examples shows a superior activity compared to the prior art: 1.
EXAMPLE D Crictical Concentration Test/Root-Systemic Action
Test insect: Phaedon cochleariae larvae
Solvent: 3 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
The preparation of active compound is intimately mixed with soil. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of practically no importance here, only the amount by weight of active compound per unit volume of soil, which is given in ppm (=mg/l), being decisive. The treated soil is filled into pots and these are planted with cabbage (Brassica oleracea). The active compound can in this way be taken up from the soil by the roots of the plants and be transported into the leaves.
To demonstrate the root-systemic effect, exclusively the leaves are infested with the abovementioned test animals after 7 days. After a further 2 days, the evaluation is made by counting or estimating the dead animals. The root-systemic action of the active compound is deduced from the mortality figures. It is 100% if all the test animals have been killed and 0% if just as many test insects are still alive as in the case of the untreated control.
In this test, for example, the following compounds of the preparation examples show a superior action compared to the prior art: 2, 7 and 8.
EXAMPLE E Critical Concentration Test/Root-Systemic Action

EXAMPLE F LT100 Test D
Test animals: Blattella germanica
Number of test animals: 10
Solvent: Acetone
2 parts by weight of active compound are taken up in 1,000 parts by volume of solvent. The solution thus obtained is diluted with further solvent to the desired concentrations.
2.5 ml of the active compound solution are pipetted into a Petri dish. A filterpaper of about 9.5 cm diameter is located on the bottom of the Petri dish. The Petri dish is left standing open until the solvent has completely evaporated. The amount of active compound per m2 of filterpaper varies, depending on the concentration of the active compound solution. The stated number of test animals is then introduced into the Petri dish, and the dish is covered with a glass lid.
The condition of the test animals is checked 3 days after commencement of the test. The destruction in % is determined. 100% means that all the test animals have been killed; 0% means that none of the test animals have been killed.
In this test, for example, the following compound of the preparation examples shows a superior action compared to the prior art: 2.
EXAMPLE G Test With Boophilus microplus resistant/OP-resistant Biarra strain
Solvent:
35 parts by weight of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether
35 parts by weight of nonylphenol polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, three parts by weight of active compound are mixed with seven parts by weight of the solvent mixture indicated above, and the concentrate thus obtained is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
10 adult Boophilus microplus res. are immersed for 1 minute in the active compound preparation to be tested. After transfer to plastic beakers and storage in a climatically controlled chamber, the degree of destruction is determined.
In this test, for example, the following compound of the preparation examples shows a superior action compared to the prior art: 4.
